Property details

googleMapsLibrary

This is the link to the current Google Maps JavaScript Api. It is configured as wrap so that you can decide where the ApiKey has to be inserted.

Important

This configuration is only for Google Maps which are used in list module of TYPO3 Backend.

googleMapsJavaScriptApiKey

Since version 2.0.0 this extension needs a Google Maps JavaScript ApiKey which you have to get over `Google Console<http://console.developers.google.com>`_

explicitAllowGoogleMaps

If you use our maps2 extension your browser will send requests to Google Servers to retrieve the map images. These requests contains the IP address of the website visitors which is a user defined information in some countries. User defined information which will be sent to third party servers needs to be explicit allowed by the visitor. Enable this option, if you need this explicit activation of Google Maps.

googleMapsGeocodeApiKey

Since version 2.0.0 this extension needs a Google Maps Geocode ApiKey, if you use the CityMap plugin. It was needed to get Latitude and Longitude from a given address.

Please visit Google Console to get one.

defaultCountry

If a Google Maps Geocode Request will be requested with only a postal code, Google Maps will try to find that postal code somewhere all over the world. If your website is only available for one specified country, you can enter a country name to reduce the Google Maps Position to given country. If you have POIs all over the world you should keep that field empty.
